We got home late today, from an all day outing. I went to check on my parents, to make sure they were all right (they live with us). They were watching Larry King, whose show was about the death of the Queen Mother, so I asked about it. Dad proceeded to tell me that she had died, and that William would now be the King. I said "WHAT???
What about Queen Elizabeth?" He said she was just the consort, and now it would go to her grandson.
I looked at my mother, and she just shrugged, and told me it had been a rough day with him. He is in early Alzheimers, and I think it suddenly got worse.
I went over to him, and reminded him who the Queen Mother was, and that the reigning queen is her daughter........but he laughed, and said "no, you don't understand." And then proceeded to tell it to me all over again. So I just said, "oh......I guess we wait and see what Charles will say." He wondered who Charles is.
It was funny and sad.........
